Baek Sojeong's tonkatsu surprised me first with how thick the meat was, and surprised me a second time with how tender it felt the moment I bit into it (๑˙ꄃ˙๑)♡⃛ The batter wasn't thick, letting the meat itself shine, so the savory flavor really stood out! The salty-savory signature katsudon sauce soaked nicely into the rice and the fried cutlet, and the combination was excellent ( •̀ω•́ )✧ The seasoning wasn't overly sweet, just right, so it stayed delicious to the very last bite! ![Cross-section of katsudon soaked in signature sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon-15-1fba7-900.webp) ![A bite of katsudon lifted with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon-16-1440n-900.webp) ### The quiet winners: ebiten and mini curry The hidden gem (?) I also added, the two ebiten, had crispy exteriors and plump, satisfying shrimp inside, bursting with savory flavor ٩(ˊ*)o Fresh out of the fryer, warm and fragrant, the flavor spread through my whole mouth — amazing! The sweet-and-spicy mini curry paired perfectly and cleanly with the katsudon and tonkatsu, making it a genuinely excellent add-on choice ( ⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎ )❤︎ The rich, deep curry aroma made the tonkatsu's flavor feel even more layered! ![Crispy fried ebiten shrimp tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon-17-1shrx-900.webp) ![Mini curry ordered as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon/namburteominal-baeksojeong-special-katsudon-18-1alii-900.webp) Every combination on the table worked so perfectly that my chopsticks never stopped until I'd scraped up the very last spoonful (๑'ᵕ'๑)♡⃛ The portions were generous too, so even though I was full, it tasted too good to leave anything behind! ## Who is Baek Sojeong Nambu Bus Terminal best for?
